Hi everyone :) [Background]
As you may be aware, thanks to Pootle, my team will shortly be sitting back with a huge sigh of relief as OpenOffice releases version 2.1 supporting Vietnamese for the first time.
I only wish I could have followed the whole release procedure via Pootle: everything was very easy to manage until I had to leave Pootle and wrestle with OOo's tortuous structure. ;)
I had to make some very quick fixes to my existing .sdf file, small changes to specific strings, but since OOo don't work on the unique string principle, that meant quite a few global search-and-replaces. So I had to do that offline.
[Task]I know we can create a .sdf file from existing OOo PO files on Pootle, but can you take my modified .sdf file and use it to update our PO files?
[Future plans]From here, we will want to continue with the Wordforge Pootle, since we still have quite a bit of useful work to do on pilot processes, including the SVN sync with the OOo site.
My team will need Pootle to update the existing PO files as new milestones are created by OOo. We will be maintaining the interface translation, and working our way through the Help section. We're also working on the official project site (once I can upload files [1]), and documentation. We'll want to link from Pootle to vi.openoffice.org, and vice versa. I'd also propose some integration with OOo's issue tracker, which is central to file-submission and update.
[Conclusion]We're especially grateful to the Pootle admins for their help in this belated but passionate effort to achieve an official OOo Việt release. We couldn't have done it without them. There's a lot of interest from government, commercial, educational and voluntary organizations in promoting OOo-Việt throughout Vietnam, so you can be sure Pootle will also get a lot of attention through this publicity.
In fact, if I were asked how we achieved so much in such a short time, with so few resources, I would say, "Pootle and sheer hard work."
It's an irresistable combination. :)from Clytie (vi-VN, Vietnamese free-software translation team / nhóm Việt hóa phần mềm tự do)
